Euphonica is a new Rust-based MPD frontend for Linux desktops, with 'bling' as a key feature. I showcase its design, features, and current development status.
MPD (Music Player Daemon) is a server-client audio player long popular with Linux users. The headless daemon runs as a background service, typically on a remote audio server. Music is then accessed via a GUI client frontend, which connects to the MPD server to stream content.
Kind of like running your bespoke, curated music streaming service, in a sense.
Thank you for including a description of what this about. We are too used to Linux that we forget about new users who might be overwhelmed by the ocean of possibilities.
You’re welcome. I’ve been using Linux for 26 years and had never heard of (or at least didn’t remember hearing of) MPD, so it’s not just new users. We all feel a different part of the elephant.
